The pill is usually most effective (about 95%). within the first 24 hours. After that, the effectiveness decreases with time, but you can still take it up to 120 hours after the event. Get the pill tomorrow, and you should be fine. Be aware that the MAP can cause an irregular cycle, so don't freak out if you are late or early by a few days.

most morning after pills i think work upto 72 hours after intercourse..so you should be fine.

It will still be effective. You have about five days, but it is most effective within the first three days. Pick it up first thing in the morning along with a box of condoms.

It works as long as it is b4 72 hrs.

probably not as effective as its supposed to be, because it is the MORINING AFTER pill, but i'm pretty sure the latest you can take it is after 3 days...

so hurry up !

It won't be, duh. That's why it's called the morning after pill, not a 48 hours later pill.
Should've been more responsible.

Best if taking right away. But I think you have up to 72hrs.

Please look into getting on birth control if you don't want to get pregnant.

Not as effective as if you'd taken it today.

And it's not that effective anyway. Less than ninety percent. Read the package literature tomorrow while you're waiting for it to kick in. This is definitely not something to depend on except in an emergency.
